Post by: lokidog on August 19, 2012, 02:48:49 PM: Looks nice, but I think I would want one to have white teeth still. I am guessing you can put some kind of coating on them to prevent coloration?

Post by: Biggerhammer on August 19, 2012, 02:56:05 PM: That's great! A step away from the ordinary, I like it. Can you do a "Skoals" or "Reaper" type hydro dip? Like I have seen on let's say CRC Hydrographics web site.

Post by: Hunter Dug on August 19, 2012, 08:09:09 PM: Loki I too am a fan of the white teeth; hoever this customer insisted on camoing the teeth so thats what they get.

Bigger hammer, we can do most any pattern or design as long as they make a film. My shop however does have limitation do to the size of our tank which limits use to about 40" square.

Post by: Hunter Dug on August 21, 2012, 09:41:29 AM: WindyGorge I can do most antlered and horned animals, however am limited on the size of antlered animals due to the size of my dipping tank. I can do most all deer, its just the large elk racks that cause a problem.
